BILL MARTINS VISIT.

The next day after the pre- hirr at

Miles was alone in her mothers itch-
en-. Gin Preston Flat kitchens always
belonged to the wife, regard IS - all
rules of law either common or atu-

thoughts half perplexing and h. pleas
ing. A faint flush occasional y sufrus-
ed her cheek, followed by look OF per
picking doubt. No remark had beer
made in her presence concerning heI
companion of the day be.1le. vet,
proud as she was of him, here was
something so strange and unknown
about him that she did rot know
whether it was right or not .-IIe has

sat by the kitchen table, looking out OF
the window. There is something sc
manly about him; his face is so frank,
open and honest that he could not nave

as tramp" The teakettle sang mer.
riiy, giving forth hot yapor that filed
the room. Pinkey seemed, if possible,
more beautiful than ever in her neat
kitchen habit and clean white collar.
Remarks, she well knew. had been
made by the neighbors concerning
Walter Brownfield, but until proven &c

mined to defend him.

the door closed, than that evi. grin
which characterized him when he met

Bill, his grin becoming leer of satis-

II do not understand you yet" con-
tinued Walter.
"Well, then" said Bill, 'T'n be as
plain as can; but you must give me
time. You know you used to live in
Queenstown"
Il did"
"And We clerked in Joe Brewster's
storep"
"Yes, sir, 1 did"
1t required all his hrmness to answer
that question

Walter, hotly, "but still declare my
innocence as did then; the accusa-

Hold on, youngster," interrupted

said Walter, with a downcast look.
''They failed to make O case of embez-

miles around j could not get employ

swear, am innocent
''ln course We are. like to hear We
say So" said Bill, with tone and grin
that the inexperienced Walter could
not understand.
Did you live in Queenstown at the
time" asked Walter.
"Well, no, not eggsactly. Ye see
I'm a kind o. a rovin' chap. I'm
everywhere, and know every body

''Io tell We that l know We, an to
tell we l was yer friend, ye bet. I'll
never 60 back on We for any thing in
the past, ole boy, but stick to ye like

Bill paused and smiled, and winked
in a manner that puzzled Walter.
GLOW long have you been working
for Mr.. Jack Hawkins?" asked Walter.
about three years1 Do We know
Jack?"
"No, sir"
''Well, sir. ye ought TO. Jack is
jolly fellow; game, too. He never de-
serts friend and is as brave as lion"
IL have only heard him spoken OF
incidentally" said Walter, still puzzled
at the manner Of Bill Martin.
"Does old Miles give any holidays?"
''lle has not yet. have only been
wor..ing f'r him two weeks"
'Not n : turday afternoon"
"No, SIR"
"Then he's an old tyrant Now,
young chap" said Bill, more mysteri-
Gus than ever, II have got more
friends here. Iwant you to form their
acquaintance. They are all Jolly good
fellows, know how to keep their own
secrets, are brave and stick together.
We are a kind o. brotherhood, We
know. / want you to see us and be
one o us. Will We come an see US
when We kinp"
Walter, though completely thunder
struck, assented, and then drove on,
while Bill, with series of grins and
winks, retired into the woods. Little
did Walter Brownfieldd dream of the ter
rible character of the brotherhood al
luded to by Bill Martin, or the trial it
would cause him.

a French Damsel Who Slept Soundly for
Over Thirty Years.


"The case of Mrs. Herbert, a cataleptic
patient in st. Joseph's Hospital, at Joliet,
ILL.,, as read it, is certainly very interest
ing reading, and, sensational though it be,
is by no means incredible per se," re-
yponded DR.. William S. Whitwell TO an
inquiring San Francisco Examiner report
or. "The books are full of such cases,
more or less authenticated. At the same
time IL must be admitted that there are
numerous cases arising from sort of hys.
terra, in which deception is practiced to .
greater or less degree, and, instead of un.
dergoing the protracted fast pretended,
food is obtained surreptitiousIy am
not prepared to state that this
was the case with the women reported 20
the French Academy of Medicine by DIR.
Gueneau de MISSY, yet it naturally
arouses some incredulity. 1t is said this
woman slept thirty yvars--that Is she

ported. How much longer she con tinued
In that state Is not recorded. Food was
administered at first, but was soon discon-
tinued, her only nutriment being the sac
rament, administered by the cure, upon
whose authority the case is reported, and
not that of DIR. De MISSY. The medical
literature upon this subject is very vol
luminous.
1.-THE sleeping girl Of TourvilIe is a case
In point. 1t is asserted that she slept UNI
interruptedly for ten years, and another
girl has been reported by the Richmond
Medical Journal as sleeping eighteen
years, while the New York Medical Ga
zette gives an account of man who slept
five years. Numerous other cases might
be cited wherein patients remained in q
condition Of prolonged and excessive
sleep, extending over weeks, months, and
even years, but all should not be accepted
as matter of indubitabIe credence.
At the same time we have well-authenti-
Gated cases Of Inconsistencies continuing
uninterruptedly for years. and again
where intervals Of consciousness occur Of
variable brevity. The patient can some-
times be fed with a spoon, but in severe
cases an oesophagal tube is used to convey
food to the stomach, and as a rule, diges~
ton IL good and bodily nutrition frequent-
~ maintained to an extraordinary degree,
considering the Insignificant amount of
nourishment taken. Great emaciation is,
however, avoidable, when the disease Is
prolonged. In my own practice, have
fed and fattened patients who were more
or less unconscious, the period Of treat
ment extending from a month to six
naontss. The reason patients survive so
long ON little or no food is that waste or
consumption Of the tissues is in proportion
30 the functional activity Of tie indiyidu
organs. Consequently, when there is no
action Of mind or body, as in cataleptic
patient, there Is comparatively no waste
of tissue.n
